Learning about probability distributions, hypothesis test, regression and classification by using R, the best open statical tool for data scientist. The theoretical part of the course is based on the famous "Probability and Statistics for Engineers and Scientists" by Sheldon M. Ross, while the practical one follows the exercises shown in "Understanding Statistics Using R" by R. Schumacker and S. Tomek.
